About Us

We study the evolution of low and intermediate mass stars (M < 8 M⊙): the mixing and nucleosynthesis processes occurring in their interiors, their surface chemical composition, final outcome as white dwarfs and/or thermonuclear supernovae, and their use in cosmology and the chemical evolution of the Universe, all both from the theoretical and observational points of view. We do also asteroseismology from space.
